    It would be a religious mandate for men to abort at least three times in their lifetime.

    They probably would if you would give their man enough salary to raise the kids on one earning wage.

    By the way every society where technology improved has the same problem. Personally I don't see it, why should a society grow constantly?

    And Covid will take care of the elderly, if I say so morbidly...

    The replacement rate is 2.1 children.

    So some women, need to be having 3 kids just for society to stay the same size.

    Assuming all the others are having 2 each.

    I know. But there is also such a thing as immigration, specially in the case of USA. So the government could easily control population growth.

    Way above replacement, so you shouldn't worry.

    That's 2020. From the article:

    What about Africa?
    The population of sub-Saharan Africa is expected to treble in size to more than three billion people by 2100.

    And the study says Nigeria will become the world's second biggest country, with a population of 791 million.

    Prof Murray says: "We will have many more people of African descent in many more countries as we go through this.

    "Global recognition of the challenges around racism are going to be all the more critical if there are large numbers of people of African descent in many countries."

    Somebody please explain why certain countries' populations returning to the level of 50-100 years ago means the end of the world.

    Now... what really would mean the end of the world, or at least of those nations/cultures, would be to follow the insane advice to import large numbers of African immigrants to ostensibly fix this non-problem. Exploding African populations, with no sign of slowing, really is a dire threat to global stability and prosperity.

  8. This is called choice, with reasons manifold. I don’t understand how is this even an issue in the first place.
